Ok, i tried to install Google Earth today. I gave the .bin file permission to execute. Then, i encountered 2 errors which i do not remember what they was for. Well, it finished installing smoothly then i typed "googleearth" into the terminal. It begins to start up then crashes. Can anyone help me out?

i would recommend downloading 2.16 then install 3d control center then install the correct video drivers with it the intel drivers are not out yet for 2.17 but... you could try compiling them yourself you would need devx_2.17.sfs and the driver sources you may also need the kernel source but i don't think you do

pastebin.ca is a more frequently used alternative to files-upload.com, though to each his/her/its own ...

The animated avatar is one thing. The mini-rendition of a Lamar Advertising outdoor electronic billboard is another. But to repeatedly bump a post after only an hour or two on a forum with a community the size of this one isn't going to win you much admiration.Last edited by alienjeff on Thu 30 Aug 2007, 15:59; edited 3 times in total

Had the same prob in another distro. Wouldn't run (or open) off the onboard integrated graphics gizmo.
Popped in a pci graphics card & BOOM - good to go.Last edited by jonyo on Thu 30 Aug 2007, 18:16; edited 1 time in total

However, I had trouble downloading OpenGL just now using 3DCC; so instead I surfed to
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/XServer/DRI/
downloaded OpenGL.pup to /root, and clicked its icon to unpack it. You may have to do this also for the DRM-Kernelmodules and i810 driver as well, if your connection to dotpups.de is as temperamental as mine.

6. Open-as-text /etc/X11/xorg.conf and below the line

Load "glx"

add the line

Load "dri"
(save, close)

and then Start --> Window Manager --> Restart X server.

Now try the 3DCC "run a 3D-Demo" and tell us what the output is, i.e. it will either say "DRI is not active" or else AntInspect will start and you'll see an "FPS:" figure.

DOes this involve downgrading Puppy because i see none of those options you described.

Oops. Heh. I forgot. I have WhoDo's EZPup 2.1.7R2 installed. You need to go get that first. That gives you 3DCC. Then...Start --> Setup --> 3DCC.

Try it, maybe Google Earth will work for you after you activate 3DCC as per above, in 2.17.1 + EZPup. Perhaps GE doesn't like my mainboard or vid card. Or perhaps it didn't like the hard disk hdc which was on the system until about 15 minutes ago, when it made klunky noises and went to that great server in the sky (*sob*...I just spent two days installing Gentoo on it...).
